I agree with Mr. Keegan that the prospect of holding eight events at Croke Park year on year would represent an over intensification of use of the stadium. My only conflict of interest is that I represent the vicinity in which Croke Park is located and my son is a fanatical hurler for Naomh Fionbarra in west Cabra.

I am sure Mr. Keegan is aware that Cumann Lúthchleas Gael accepted that it had over-reached. It said as much to the community. I agree with him on that point but I part company with him from there on. I think he made the wrong decision and I think his decision was disastrous for the city. I hope he is aware that it has caused considerable upset and anger in the local community and among residents and that he is now aware that there is not a single view from residents but that there are different views on these matters. In the course of his consultation with the statutory bodies, which of them objected to five concerts? Did An Garda Síochána or any of the other statutory organisations object to five concerts?
